Sounds similar to Monster Hunter.

I approve of this prospect.

This could be the best co-op game of the year.

So a glib description would be that it's like Team Left 4 Predator? Certainly sounds very cool, Left 4 Dead gave me a lot of laughs, a re-imagining of that core you vs the environment vs the other guys game play should be great.

This just seems really really cool. I'm looking forward to it. I hope they give us a lot of server control so we can balance the game a bit ourselves in case the team is not full for example.

Sounds really cool.

Reminds me a bit of starting out as the sole Alpha Zombie in "Zombie Panic". Fun times, especially that time when I hid in a closet in the room that all the survivors were in the process of barricading, only to trap themselves in with me :)

Looking forward to trolling and being trolled by others :p

Whoa, this actually sounds really kind of awesome. I've always dreamed of some kind of multiplayer game where a player can control the boss. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls had this, but I had difficulty getting into those because I admit that the games were just too difficult for me. Left 4 Dead gets it kind of close.

The idea of playing as a boss who has a goal beyond 'just kill the players and stop them from reaching point B' is what makes this the most interesting, I think. But given the very nature of the game's set up and the evolving monster, I wonder how easy to balance something like that will be. Certainly looking forward to finding out!

Bleh! Double post. =/

Pretty much what I was thinking. It's basically hunt mode from AvP 2, but with a lot more variety for both sides. The only down side I can see is that I really sucked as a predator.
